7:10 am
performance at yesterday's confirmation hearing but they do believe the former nebraska senator will be confirmed if only by a slim margin. one of the most damaging exchanges came from hagel's one-time friend and ally senator john mccain over hagel's opposition to the iraq troop surge. >> will you please answer the question, were you correct or incorrect when you said that the surge would be the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since vietnam. were you correct or incorrect? yes or no? >> my reference to the -- >> are you going to answer the question, senator hagel? the question is were you right or wrong? that's a pretty straightforward question. i would like to answer whether you were right or wrong and then you are free to elaborate. >> well, i'm not going to give you a yes or no answer. >> well it will show you refuse to answer this question. >> with us is host of "face the
7:11 am
nation" and washington correspondent bob schieffer. the white house normally prep their nominees. what does this say about it? >> to me this is the most interesting and intreeging inginintriguing part of this whole deal. onormally the administration rushes out with the defense. he hardly left capitol hill yesterday when reports leaked out of the white house not attributed to any official but they were disappointed thought he did not do very well. it was weird. it's only two things that could have happened here either the white house is absolutely certain that they have every democrat's vote and that he's going to be confirmed, because there are more democrats than republicans in the senate or they were sort of setting chuck hagel up to say, you better think about withdrawing your
7:12 am
name and we'll get on with something else. this just doesn't happen the way it did yesterday. >> so it might be more damage to the possibility of confirmation? >> i don't think he helped himself. i would say that because it seems to me after the white house's kind of tepid reaction they had, it seems to be saying to democrats if this is a hard vote for you, do what you need to do. >> what do you make of john mccain? >> well, this is a very interesting thing. let's not forget that chuck hagel was john mccain's co-chairman, the co-chairman of his national campaign when he ran for president the first time. these were busosum buddies, vietnam veterans and john mccain says this split is about policy and nothing more until we find other evidence i guess we take him at his word but this is a deep breach, i don't think there's a question about that one. >> "face the nation" this sunday who is your guest? >> we'll have roger goodell, the commissioner of professional
7:13 am
football. this is super bowl weekend and boy, do we have a few questions for him. i mean when the president of the united states in the days before the super bowl says if i had a son, i'm not sure i'd have to think long and hard about whether i wanted him to play football that tells you that football and questions about it go beyond just the super bowl. this is something that has to do with the whole american psyche and their whole american culture. >> bob schieffer in the spirit thank you, we'll be watching. and the job market held steady last month, 157,000 were added in january and the labor department says hiring was stronger over the past two years than previously thought. but the unemployment rate rose 0.1% to 7.9%. for the second time in two days, a major american newspaper says chinese hackers have infiltrated its computers. it has been happening for the last several months. meanwhile at the pentagon officials are looking at big
7:14 am
changes in how they fight cyber terror. bob orr is in washington. >> those attacks on the "new york times" and "wall street journal" are part of a plot to crack critical systems inside of the u.s. cyber detectives traced the computer break-ins at "the new york times" and "wall street journal" to government hackers inside china. chinese deny the allegations calling them not professional and groundless but both papers say there is evidence hackers stole reporters' passwords and attempted to monitor coverage of the chinese government. newspapers are just the latest targets. sources say state-sponsored spies mostly from china every day infiltrate a broad spectrum of government and business networks inside the u.s. >> cyber, i believe, represents as big a threat to the security
7:15 am
of this country as any one specific threat. >> reporter: at his confirmation hearing thursday secretary of defense nominee chuck hagel warned computer-based attacks could be crippling. >> it's an insidious, quiet kind of a threat that we've never quite seen before. it can par lies a nation in a second. >> reporter: for now, the damage is economic cyber spies and criminal hackers are stealing corporate secrets worth an estimated $250 billion a year from u.s. businesses. but officials worry more about potential strikes against critical infrastructure power grids, transportation systems, and financial networks. >> they can wage war against the west electronically. >> reporter: former fbi cyber chief sean henry says while no attack against an infrastructure has occurred one can happen. radical groups are calling for internet jihad. >> that should be a wake-up call
7:16 am
for all of us. the same people who wanted to impact our country flying planes into our country 11 years ago are looking for ways to do it electronically and remotely. >> the pentagon is looking to expand its cyber security forces. the so-called cyber command will grow five-fold over the next few years from 900 employees presently to nearly 5,000 personnel. time to show you some of this morning's headlines from around the globe.

the united states embassy in ankara turkey. the u.s. ambassador to turkey said one guard was killed. senior correspondent john miller is with us. two big questions, number one, what are the concerns what do we know and what are the questions being asked? >> the key concern is that it's a first in a series? they will ratchet up security as a result of it. the other concern as you framed it is attribution, who is behind it, and because we're early in the game the choices are many. you have syria, turkey has opposed bashir ashadassad's regime and the iranian revolutionary guard network that operates in turkey and certainly they've had their problems with turkey and of course you have the al qaeda elements in north africa which you know are now being fought by the french but the u.s. air assets are helping the french move in and that makes the west and the u.s. part of that target package.
7:30 am
so it's too early to say who is behind it, but the turks also have a very sophisticated intelligence service and that picture will develop through the day. >> we also want to talk about security much closer here to home, we know that's the story you're covering here in new orleans and john has been given unprecedented access to look at some of the efforts to keep the super bowl safe. that is the story you will see only right here on "cbs this morning." >> reporter: by land, air and sea, an alphabet soup of local, state and federal agencies along with nfl security are working around the clock to make sure nothing happens off the field on sunday. >> we've got at least 70 agencies participating in covering this event. >> reporter: mike anderson is the special agent in charge of the new orleans fbi. from this joint operations center, they're looking at classified intelligence updates on terrorism overseas but also tracking every incident in the area. but if something happened that

log would start to tick down minute by minute information about a car bomb a bomb threat a hostage situation, whatever it was. >> absolutely, the capabilities of that system can go into incredible detail so that will be going off like a ticker tape. >> i know you're going to do a great job. >> reporter: in a downtown new orleans hotel police superintendent ron serpas gave a pep talk to the cops some of the public will see on the street. later in a converted cotton house we saw the hidden articles of special operations teams and tools that the service hopes the public will never see. sume if you have to pull this thing out something bad has happened. >> something bad is not going to happen because we're going to make sure we're safe but if we have to do anything that's aggressive which occurs this particular piece of equipment protects the officers and protects the people we're going to remove from a hostage situation. >> reporter: as part of the plan more than 1,200 officers will work 12-hour shifts straight through super bowl sunday.
7:32 am
you you >> you cover everything soup to nuts, air, water, ground subterranean, deployment patterns, where are the special assets going to be. >> reporter: inside the stadium, jeff miller head of nfl security, is focused on protecting the players and fans. >> what we try to do is do what we believe is necessary and appropriate, but do it in a way that the fans understand what we're doing and don't suffer because of it. >> from this command post they track everything coming into the superdome, 4,000 private security guards have been hired and all cargo is inspected by customs and border patrol agents before entering the venue. >> there's so many different steps from walk-through metal detectors to pat-downs to x-rays to k-9 explosive teams. >> reporter: just days before the big game teams of homeland security agents engaged intactical exercises. >> police!
7:33 am
>> reporter: for any imagine scenario. as i walk towards the 50 yard line with secretary of homeland security janet napolitano i asked about the current threat picture. >> we need to constantly challenge ourselves with the what if this what if that what if there were someone who managed to get an ied in here as small a likelihood as that is. what if someone had a toxic substance? those are scenarios that we think about, we plan for. >> reporter: or there's that 9/11 scenario a terrorist attack using an aircraft. we went up with customs and border protection agents who will be enforcing a 30-mile temporary flight restriction zone or tfr around the stadium on sunday. >> we're flying over the superdome here we're kind of in the bull's eye of the temporary flight restriction area right? >> we are, we are. we want to do our best to make sure everybody has a safe and
7:34 am
fun experience and never knows we're even here. >> so the possibility of a plane, a real threat and they have time to take care of the threat? >> so that's why they have this layered approach. charlie, there has about the none a super bowl since 9/11 when they put in that restricted air space, where some plane hasn't flown into it and they've had to come up on that plane, call them on the radio, lead them down to an air field, question them, who are you, what were you doing and in most cases it's just a mixup, they didn't know where the restricted air space was but that's why you have these two doughnuts. the 30-mile area thing is so when a plane comes in they can start that process, identify the aircraft what's its intent where is it going? can we escort it out. if you get as far as that ten-mile radius where the superdome is the bull's eye there, then you're going to see much more aggressive action and that's when those f-15s that are right across the river here and we've seen them running around in the sky practicing, that's
7:35 am
where they're going to come up alongside you and their options are to escort you down or take you down. and that's a big decision. we haven't seen that. >> who makes the decision? >> well ideally that would be a call that would go up to the white house but that's if there's time. somewhere in the chain there's a commander who can make this call. it's never been done. >> you talk about the security outside the air perimeters. what's going on inside the superdome we might not be able to see. >> a lot you're not able to see. ideally you'll see what looks like a happy, safe football game, but there are what they call hit teams, one northerly fire department hazmat technician technician, one bomb technician and fbi agent moving in groups of three throughout the crowd. that means if they see a disbursal device put willing out chemicals or a suspicious package that may be a bomb. at that point it's not an option to evacuate the building or to stop the game so they're right there, ready to do a hand entry
7:36 am
into that package and try to render it safe. >> do we know of any credible threats? >> you know no credible threats that are on the radar, but they'll never find comfort in the idea that they don't know about a threat. they just assume there's one out there and plan for it. >> john miller thank you very much for that. and nearly 180 years ago, the first streetcar made its way through new orleans. now there's a new addition to the family. we'll take you along for a look at the streetcar's past and future, and tomorrow winston marsalis explores the meaning of this city's signature song "when the saints go marching in" as we joining you for "cbs this morning saturday."
